The Black Death

The Black Death | John S. Marr, Gwyneth Cravens

Here are my April #Bookspin and #Doublespin picks. Savages, I believe, has been on my shelves since 2016 from a Litsy swap. The Black Death I hunted down after @Michael_Gee posted about it a long while ago.

Michael_Gee Omg yay! 🖤🐀🐀🐀🐀 2y

Reggie @Michael_Gee @Bookzombie I thought of ya‘ll last week because I don‘t know if ya‘ll have watched Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix but there‘s this episode that has to do with gravediggers and rats and it gets a little crazy. Check it out if you haven‘t. 2y

Michael_Gee @Reggie Yes!! I loved that episode. 2y

Bookzombie @Reggie I‘m not Netflixing right now since I‘m using other streamers at the moment. 🙂I will add it to my list of things I need to see. (edited) 2y

Reggie Ooh girl, I know what you mean. I don‘t have HBOMax and every horror movie I want to see is on there. Especially the series the Last of Us. And Rupaul has for the past 2 summers made me get Paramount plus for 3 months because he puts the Drag Race Allstate on there. I get so angry. 2y

Bookzombie @Reggie 😄 Yes! I jump around usually. I do have some things for a year if they had a deal. Peacock had a deal for 0.99 a month for year so I have that, lol. Plus Paramount plus and also BritBox because it had a deal. (edited) 2y

Then he saw the rats. They crowded in the gutters and prowled among the cars, their restless, curved backs forming one writhing, streaming mass. One rat the size of a tomcat lumbered in front of the ambulance, indifferent to its noise and motion, and begin feeding on the face of a corpse.

Reggie Lol, bleughhhh. 🤢🤮@Bookzombie I don‘t know if you follow Michael but one of his horror bookclubs decided to base their choices on the 🐀 . Cause of your post the other day I thought you‘d get a kick out of it. 4y

Bookzombie @Reggie I didn‘t, but I do now. 🙂 Hi, Michael! While I have confirmed rats are disgusting, I would still absolutely read this, lol. 4y

Michael_Gee @Bookzombie Haha! Wonderful. 🐀🤗 4y

The culmination of this year‘s rat-infested “tails” of horror would have been missed if not for reading @Moosmoo review here on Litsy. This books has rats! Plague! Disillusionment with the government of the US of A! I enjoyed the ramping up of tension as we follow the various attempts to curtail the spread of a pandemic, though my goodness it goes off the rails quickly. 🐀 ☣️ 💉

LostInSpace Was good right?! @GhostStories 4y

Michael_Gee @Moosmoo I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing it! 4y

That little pickle with this book is one of our rats, Pancake! 🐀

This novel starts off quite slowly, has a really fast paced middle and an abrupt ending, I felt a bit like I had whiplash 😂

I really enjoyed the story though, New York City is hit by plague and spreads uncontrollably, our main character races against time to stop it. There is a bit of everything in this book, the only reason I took a star off is because of the ending!

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Awww! Precious baby!! How many rats do you have? ❤️😍 5y

LostInSpace @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm we have 3 (edited) 5y

LostInSpace @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm crumble, pancake and waffle! 🐀🐀🐀 5y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Omg, I love their names!! 😂🤣😂 I love rats, but hubby is VERY allergic, so I geek out when I see other people‘s babehs. 😅 5y

MsMelissa I had a white rat named Pinky when I was a kid. She was an awesome pet! So loving and social. I understand why people don‘t like street rats, but domesticated rats make great pets. 5y

LeahBergen What a perfect photo! 😍 5y

BookwormM Ahh Pancake is so cute 5y

Michael_Gee I‘m reading this now because of your post! 4y

LostInSpace @GhostStories are you enjoying it?! 4y

Michael_Gee @Moosmoo I am! I‘m early in (just started Day 4 chapter). Reading about the spread of disease is....timely. I can‘t believe that I haven‘t since March, but I couldn‘t not buy myself a copy when I saw the giant rat on your cover (your real life rat is super cute, btw!). 4y

LostInSpace @GhostStories thanks! He‘s my favourite out of our 3 but shush don‘t tell the others 😍😅😂 4y

Unpacking boxes we have had in the garage since we moved in and found this gem! I think it was my sisters, but now it‘s mine. Those are finders keepers rules and they always apply. Super psyched! A whole box full of true crime paperbacks too!

Book_ish No thank you! That cover creeps me out! 🤣🤣🤣 6y

LeahBergen Awesome! 😆 6y
